I can't believe 20 of you can't appreciate a perfectly good burn despite how good or bad of an argument the slime dude was making or whatever.

    Man, I kinda like thought slime's content and that he's the only one I know of that platforms smaller channels, but goddamn does he need to read more. His takes about MLism are really uninformed. He does that thing that a lot of internet anarchists do and just hyper focus on the whole "hah you think the state will just wither away lmao no way." Idk, maybe hell get there eventually.

      They posted their reading list some time ago and the problem isn't that they need to read more (they likely read more theory than most people on this site), but that they don't read any ML theory at all. They don't get ML concepts of statehood in the slightest, and as they don't understand that we see states as a tool of class rulership, they can't understand what ML critiques of Anarchism are getting at - the problems that arise from abolishing the state before abolishing capitalism.

      This is the core of their mistakes besides falling for Western propaganda way too easily.

        I kinda have a soft spot for him but agreed. His videos are good for preaching to the choir and probably not much else. Lib and chud whispering are fickle practices.
